Designing around GDPR compliance shows up all over the place in industrial data collection. It doesn't only affect surveillance webslop.

The costs are often worse on industrial side because the data is so much larger and faster than web or mobile data.

What do you mean by "industrial" in this case?

Telemetry from machines and data from environmental sensors that is collected for operational purposes (safety, efficiency, reliability) in industrial applications. Old school engineering systems that in modern times have expansive network-connected sensors that may even have onboard classifiers to reduce the quantity of data.

The trouble started when lawyers correctly noticed that these are incidentally capable surveillance systems even though that isn't how we use them or what they were designed for.
